About Karen Price

Karen Elaina Price (born July 17, 1960 in Pasadena, California) is an American model, stunt woman and television producer, and Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for January 1981. Before becoming a Playmate she was a personal gymnastics coach and a children's gymnastics teacher.

The Playboy issue with Karen Price as centerfold is famous for having one of the last interviews with John Lennon. The interview took place several months before he was murdered in December of 1980. It came out in Playboy about the time of his murder.

After she became a Playmate, Karen started acting, but soon switched to performing stunts for over 27 movies including Leonard Part 6 (1987), Police Academy 2 (1985), The Golden Child (1986), and "Old Gringo" (1989), in which she was a stunt double for Jane Fonda. After a hiatus, she began a new career as an associate producer of television programs such as Amazing Vacation Homes (2004) and Amazing Babies (2005). Price made a cameo appearance of sorts in the early Mel Gibson film The Road Warrior - her centerfold is pasted onto a tailfin of Gyro Captain's Benson gyrocopter.
